READ: “When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy…” Matthew 2:10

REFLECT: On today’s daily video devo listen to Elizabeth’s song “Bring Your Joy to the World”. It’s meant as a prelude to the carol “Joy to the World”. It’s a crying out to God for joy to come… and then, as the song concludes, we recognize that true Joy has entered the world in Christ! He is bringing life …and reigns with truth and grace! One day He will right every wrong and restore the world in perfect joy!

As you listen, think of the confusion and heartache in the headlines and in your neighborhood and pray the chorus: “Lord, bring your joy to the world!”

Then rejoice that the prayer is being answered in Christ. Joy to the world! The Lord has come!
